last name woes

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

My soon-to-be last name is Hertz, and it is presenting more of a problem with any names for future children than I had ever thought. Immediately, it knocked out one of my favorite names, Landon. And at one point in time I had pitched Braden to my fiance, to which he replied, "Only if Hair can be the middle name." Har har, right?

A name I really have been trying to sell him on is Rayne. So my question to you is, would Rayne Hertz get my kid picked on? LoL Honestly, most people tell me they don't even think of the Hertz=hurts connection until it's pointed out [like, for instance, my mom always laughs because I'm about to graduate from nursing school, so I will be Nurse Hertz].

So what do you think? Am I asking for my kid to get teased?

I made the connection right away, so most people might. Rain Hurts - I dunno.

Hmmm...that's what I worry about. LoL Most people don't seem to pick up on it, but for the ones that do, is it that terrible??

I personally would try to stay away from any names that would make statements like that, but it's just me.

To me, it could cause people to think of hail or something... yes, I know hail isn't rain. :P Kids might pick up on the connection, and they could be cruel... I dunno.
